wow, just WOW! IDK what I was expecting when I picked up this series, but I was never expecting to become as attached as I am. I picked this up thinking it was going to be a sports romance book set in some boarding school in Scotland, and that's it. Never once was I expecting the emotional connection I would develop with the characters, the plot, and the series as a whole. By the end of the book, I was uncontrollably sobbing and I didn't even realize it. I didn't think that the characters would be younger (15-18 aged), and normally I don't read books with the main characters being so young, but I feel like they seem older than they all are based on what life has thrown at them. SHANNON LYNCH MY GIRL!!! there were so many times where I wanted to yell at her to stand the heck up and FIGHT BACK, but after being bullied all her life, I understand why she is so timid and scared of fighting back her bullies. She is so strong for putting up with the abuse she has been dealing with all her life. I love her and feel so protective of her, and just want to see her live a happy life. Johnny, Johnny, JOHNNY THE MAN THAT YOU ARE!!! He is definitely going on my list of best book boyfriends of all time because, wow, THIS MAN IS IT. From the moment he set foot on the page, I knew that I would fall in love with him. The way that he protects Shannon from the very first few chapters made my heart burst and I am so excited/nervous for the next book, I am hoping he makes a speedy recovery and is able to get back to the rugby field ASAP as long as he learns how to take care of himself/his body. Already have book 2 downloaded and cannot wait to start! Also excited to continue the series as I know the following books will follow the rest of the friend group, which I am obsessed with. If I could rate it higher than 5 stars on here, I would, definitely a 6-star read.
